Well, I sort of have an excuse for not updating lately (aside from nothing
happening). Most of the time I've spent on the computer has been writing other
stuff, some of which I should be able to link to fairly soon.

I picked up a copy of Good Omens, by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett,
the other day, along with a copy of
Linux Journal. LJ turned out
to be a pretty cool mag.

Good Omens was excellent. It's the kind of book that gets a lot of
comparisons to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and actually
deserves them just in terms of sheer weird Brit flavored laugh value. It's
about the apocalypse, main characters including an angel/bookseller, a demon,
the Antichrist, a psychic witch, and a couple of witchfinders... Actually, it's
not really quite the same sort of book as the Guide, and in some ways I
think it's a better one. Both Pratchett and Gaiman are definitely on the list
of People I Wish I Could Write Like.
